If the global crisis continues at the present rate, by the end of this year only two banks will be left operational ..... the Blood Bank and the Sperm Bank! And before you know it, these two will merge, and the whole place will be full of bloody wankers.

The movie was made on the last (3rd) book on the Red Dog by a Brit with a French Name, his was the third book about Red Dog. Two previous books were written by Australian residents, the first b...

Well, son and son-i-l have given Lulu a going over, and Gypsy, as she needs some repairs before I can sell her. Gypsy, the little camper trailer, has a little crack in the top, which is a bugger as I didn't want to spend any more money on her before selling her. But they've worked out the cheapest/easies...

How could we leave our pet foxy behind, he is my hubbies bestest friend and also keeps him calm and his blood pressure down. At first the thought of being in a van forever with both husband & dog 24-7 I was having some drama. But with a lot of thought after asking advise here on the forum some time back, w...
